Would you pay this for these?
« on: 26 January 2012, 09:44 »
Im talking to a bloke at the min and he wants £400 for these, are they worth that bearing in mind they need two new tyres..

Nice price around £400 no more or oner per corner!
You plan on powder coating them to match colour as the surface is going to be all alloy?

I would find out the weight of them if they are heavy it might reduce the feel of the steering on a golf Mk2?

Need to catch up Sam LOL!
A4 loads of power, but saying that it might be a tad too retro what shape A4? get photo shop on it to make sure its a lot of money to get it wrong fella? :lipsrsealed:

It might be worth asking Martz to check these over he must see loads of alloys and knows roughly whats going to be a good bargin.

His user name is Richardturpin reminds me of Dick Turpin  :laugh:

Funny the ebay pictures on all alloys looks good, but the single picture looks really oval shape maybe its the way he took the pictures but if they stick out more than the lip becareful you might be scrapping them more than others?
Your picture looks good with them on!
Just ask if they have had any knocks if they are bent in anyway I'll be gutted for you after you had bought them!
Another thing mate tyres will cost a bit more than the alloys  :wink:

Oh I know, the price of tyres makes me gag haha. Plenty of gypo wolfrace alloys out there with decent tyres on though. It always seems easier to buy that way. My mate even buys entire cars just for the tyres, swaps them over then sells the car stating that it failed an pre mot test due to tyre ware or whatever.

yep, BUT ( and this is from my  passat days ) the holes on the merc wheels can " sometimes " be too small for the audi/VW bolts to fit into. so new bolts have to be used  :wink:

just summat to consider  :kiss:
